VKB completed a complete remodel of 3 of our bathrooms including the master bathroom. Overall, the…read morequality, workmanship, and attention to details were highly evident throughout the entire project. The project manager, Jason, was on site every 2-3 days to ensure the work was proceeding as discussed. He was easily reachable by phone during the entire project. VKB was able to place 2 teams on site which allowed the work to be completed in 4.5 weeks instead of 6-7 weeks which would have been normal. The team lead on site, Walter, was easy to talk to and was very knowledgeable on all aspects of the project (demolition, prep, electrical, plumbing, fixtures, paint, etc.). He has an excellent team of workers that rotated across the various tasks in each bathroom. My wife and I were very pleased at the finished results. Everything came together very nicely. We would highly recommend VKB for your bathroom remodeling. With that said, I offer a few suggestions for potential clients to consider. Customers should make sure they know exactly what they want to do. While change orders can be made after the project is started, it costs more than if the project scope was defined from the beginning. Also, I recommend looking at www.build.com to pre-select the fixtures that are needed prior to scheduling the meeting with the designer. Trying to select all the fixtures for the bathroom within 60-90 minutes in the showroom can be challenging.

My experience with this contractor has been extremely frustrating and disappointing…read more We hired this company expecting professional renovation work. Instead, we have been left with numerous workmanship and installation problems, several of which go well beyond cosmetic imperfections. The microwave ventilation was not properly sealed to the exterior, leaving an opening through which birds and other vermin could enter the home. The bathroom vent was also improperly sealed, allowing water intrusion that damaged the ceiling. We also experienced electrical problems--the stove and microwave cannot operate at the same time, and a kitchen outlet identified during our review was not GFCI. Even more concerning, the garbage disposal/plumbing installation resulted in wastewater and sewage spilling into the basement. The finishing work was also poor. Walls were not properly prepared before painting, areas behind the refrigerator and stove were left unfinished, and drywall/plaster work around a vent was done poorly enough that the vent separated from the wall. The painting itself will need professional correction. We also had concerns about the cleanliness of the work site and certain work practices. Most frustrating is that we raised concerns throughout the project, yet the issues remained unresolved. We have photographs documenting these conditions and have now formally requested that the contractor correct the outstanding deficiencies. I do not recommend this company.

The owner Chris a…read morenice and I told him what I and he made suggestions and everything came into place and by the time it was completed, which was real timely. I was surprised and the little things that he added that I wasn't expecting like the undercabinet lighting that I wanted, he put a switch on the wall so I can use one side of the kitchen or the other and you cannot see the lighting it's LED lights that are so small that you can't even tell they're there until you light them up and the cabinets are excellent quality the special design a space for me to hide my big trash cans that Laurel provides. and he stands behind his work that's the thing he every day to see the progress of being made and gives his approval or he might suggest something be done a little more to his satisfaction because he is so particular that you can't help with the at his work so if you want a local contractor that stands behind his job and his company he cares about you as a customer and he's treated like a member of your family so go with the local them the business. Don't give it to the they've got money go to the local contractors that are reliable and get the good reviews like because Maryland homes and renovations cannot be beat. I gave him a five out of five rating.

Update: Chris recently started a new project on our house and has been flexible with some scheduling issues on our end.

So much so that we get ice on our window sill every winter. Skip Conrey constantly said they were done right and Alside rep said they don't warrant water on sills. I finally had enough as Skip does nothing but make excuses and actually no longer responds, so I replaced several windows that thankfully I didn't let him do. While I was doing these, I decided I needed to replace this bathroom window that builds up ice every winter. Wouldn't you know it...there is a HUGE gap between the bottom of the window and the jamb.

Our kitchen renovation was a dream come true. My husband and I put off this project for many…read moreyears, partly due to finances, time and fear. The stars were finally aligned when we met Dan, owner of American Kitchen Concepts, Inc. He was highly recommended by a neighbor, and he lived up to the stellar recommendation. We met Dan in his office wherein we made design plans and chose from the varied, quality cabinets, countertops, backsplashes, and hardware on hand. Dan gave us wonderful ideas, that we never would have thought possible, had we designed the project on our own. Then came the hard part, the actual demolition and reconstruction. Dan's right hand man for this project was the highly skilled Cameron, a brillant carpenter and electrician. The scope of this project included removing two soffits and elongating one; electrical upgrading; removal of old and installation of new appliances, countertops, cabinetry, sink, faucet, disposal, and lighting; backsplash install; drywall install, repair and painting. Cameron was meticulous, professional, kept the worksite clean with daily sweepup and vacuuming. Cameron's attention to detail was highly appreciated. He treated our home as if it was his own. Dan and Cameron communicated effectively together and with us along this journey. In six weeks time, our kitchen was transformed from a 1980's look to one that is better than cool and modern. We love waking up everyday to our new kitchen and spending time in this room. If you are thinking about a kitchen remodel, don't hesitate to consider American Kitchen Concepts, Inc. Dan and his team were fantastic and we would trust them with any future, large scale project.

My family and I used American Kitchen Concepts and could not have been happier with their services!…read more We recommend Dan and his team without hesitation. Our project initially started as an involved kitchen remodel (demo down to the studs and moving two doors) in a c. 1900 house, however, it ultimately involved far more than the kitchen. Over the course of our remodel we developed a strong trust in the crew and their assessments- at multiple points there were things (not related to their work) that they could have covered up, been paid and moved on to their next paying job leaving us with a nasty surprise years down the line (eg failing joists/support beams). Instead, Dan and his crew slowed down their project to take the time to walk my wife and me through the potential implications of findings, the solutions (which may or may not have involved them) and then allowed us to properly address each issue before continuing the kitchen project. Even beyond the trust, which is so important in an involved project, American Kitchen Concepts craftsmanship and attention to details was exemplary leaving us with a beautiful, transformed first floor of our house! We cannot wait to show it off. Finally, in regard to one previous review, I clearly cannot speak to their experience but I can assure you that Dan and Cameron (the lead at our house and, independently, fantastic) clearly knew each other very well, trusted each other's professional judgement and worked as one seamless team.

My husband and I have been taking our time remodeling our home and it was finally time to tackle…read morethe master bathroom. We wanted to make our shower bigger and replace our built-in tub for a stand alone tub. We contacted 3 companies for an estimate. One contractor flaked and called the morning of the appointment saying he couldn't make it. He suggested we do a zoom consultation. When I asked how he would get the measurements, he said it was "just" a bathroom and he didn't intend on doing sketches anyways. His condescension made me cancel everything with him. The second contractors was nice, but had a high estimate, then suggested we purchase low end materials to save on the cost. He gave us the estimate right away, then pressured us to accept it right then. He offered a $1K discount if we agreed before he left, but what's $1K on a $32K price tag,so we told him we had 1 more contractor to meet with. And then there was Mr. Luis. He came in with a smile, removed his shoes and actually listened to all my concerns about my current bathroom and my dreams about my future one. He took his measurements and then repeated back the things I said I really wanted. There was no pressure and he said he would contact me in a few days with an estimate. It took him about 4 days to get back to me. Not only was his estimate significantly less,but it also came with a computer generated rendition of my bathroom space from multiple angles. I had sent him some tile patterns I liked, and he had them in the image, so I could really visualize my new bathroom. He did the rendition 2 more times with different tile patterns I sent him to help me choose the one I really liked. I also want to note that he could've easily charged more because I told him I thought it was going to cost $40K when he came to do the estimate,but he still gave me his honest price. We set a date for work to start after I paid a 33% deposit. His team, led by Mr. Wilson, were punctual and really respected my home. They draped wherever they needed to walk and they walled off my bedroom with plastic so dust and debris wouldn't get all over my living space. Mr. Wilson answered all my questions and kept me updated on everything being done each day. He assisted me in buying some of my products. His team kept everything very tidy when they left each day. He was a dream from start to finish. The 2nd deposit was due when the tile install began. Mr. Carlos did all of the tiling himself. He gave his professional opinion about the tile I chose for the shower floor, which led me to use the same tile as the shower walls and honestly, I like it better. The bathroom was completed in 2 weeks. The last deposit is due upon completion. When all the work was done, they polished and cleaned the entire bathroom AND several surfaces in my bedroom. They wiped down and dusted the TV stand and fireplace (both in the sitting area outside of the bathroom). They had only gotten a small amount of dust on them from the construction, so I just planned to dust when they were finished,but they did it for me without me asking. They also wiped down the bannister as they exited. As a mom of 3 kids under 5, I appreciated that more than they know. I've had people work in my house before who were neat, but I have never had a team clean up after themselves as thoroughly as this one. I'd also like to mention his office manager, Ms. Gigi, handled the administrative side seamlessly. She also answered all of my emails promptly. I absolutely LOVE my new bathroom and I will definitely use them for projects in the future. Anyone looking for honest and skillful contractors should use this company.
